For him, it was the defining blight of the modern world, whose dark peripheries he mapped in his greatest works, Heart of Darkness, Nostromo, and The Secret Agent. The second seminar in our Political Novel series, led by Edwin Frank, editor of our NYRB Classics series, will focus on these three novels as expressions of Conrad's anti-political vision.
